What Makes a Roof Solar-Ready?
Orientation
South-facing is ideal in the US. East/West still work but produce 10-20% less. North-facing is usually not recommended.
Roof Condition
If your roof needs replacement in the next 10 years, do it before solar. Removing panels for re-roofing adds cost.
Shading
Trees, chimneys, neighboring buildings casting shadows hurt production. Modern optimizers help but can't eliminate shade loss.
Installation by Roof Type
Asphalt Shingles
Most common and easiest to install on. Standard mounting with lag bolts and flashing.
Metal Roofs
Excellent for solar—often uses clamp mounts with no roof penetration. Long-lasting combo.
Tile & Flat Roofs
Require specialized mounting. Tile needs tile hooks; flat roofs use ballasted or attached systems.
